National Donut Day!!!

National Donut Day!!!

Whether you spell it donut or doughnut, there’s no denying this delicious pastry and with the first Friday of June being National Donut Day ... LET'S CELEBRATE!!!

We can thank the Salvation Army for this one, back in 1938 to raise funds and celebrate "donut lassies" - the female Salvation Army volunteers who provided home cooked meals, supplies and - what else - donuts to soldiers fighting on the front lines.

And don't forget the Donut Day deal, Dunkin' Donuts, Krispy Kreme and other donut stores and chains offer freebies honoring the delicious day.

Today is also the national debut of Dunkin' Donuts glazed donut breakfast sandwich. A glazed donut sandwiches eggs and bacon, perfect for those who can’t decide between a sweet and savory breakfast.

A Utah man found a hamburger he bought 14 years ago and it's in amazing condition for its age.

You're this much closer to getting your Twinkies fix

A bankruptcy judge has given final approval for the sale of Twinkies, Wonder Bread and many of Hostess Brands' other assets, clearing the way for the iconic products to return to shelves.
Hostess snacks - including Twinkies, Ho Hos, Ding Dongs and Zingers - were sold for $410 million to a joint venture of private equity firms Apollo Global Management and Metropoulos & Co. They expect to return the product to store shelves this summer. 

Wonder Bread and most of Hostess' other bread brands was purchased by baker Flowers Foods for $360 million. The company has yet to give a date for when those breads will be back in stores. On Thursday, Judge Robert Drain also approved the $31.9 million sale of the Beefsteak bread brand to baker Grupo Bimbo, a Mexico-based company that is one of the largest U.S. bakers.

Wow!!!  I can't wait for Wonder Bread to be back because the sorry excuse for bread my Mom has been purchasing as a replacement, just isn't cutting it.   I don't mind that Ding Dongs are back, I don't eat them often but they are sorta yummy.  I'm more of a Little Debbie's kinda girl!!
